HC Deb 10 July 1922 vol 156 cc870-1W
Mr. LYLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade the relative prices of gas and electric light in the Metropolitan area now and for the last five years; and whether he is satisfied that they now reflect the decreases in the cost of labour, coal, and materials?

Mr. BALDWIN

The question of prices charged for electricity is a matter for the Minister of Transport. As regards gas prices, I am having the figures looked into and will furnish my hon. Friend with a statement in the course of a few days.
